WINDOW RUBBER

CAN ANYBODY TELL ME WHERE THE BEST PLACE TO GET ALL THE RUBBER FOR ALL THE WINDOWS

Contact George at the DodgeA100 yahoo site. He has it.

You could try these guys as well....

Restoration Specialties & Supply, Inc. [mailto:restspec@earthlink.net]

I am contacting them again in July about the 1/4 window rubber sets.

I've tried to reach George without luck.
Restoration Specialties is where I'm going when I'm ready!

I also followed advice given here to contact George a year or so back....took a year or so to get a reply....be patient

Restoration Specialties were very responsive once I told them there was a bunch of guys looking for the same things as me

there is an old adage; Fast, cheap or good, pick two.
If you gotta wait a year, the stuff better be NOS and under a dollar!

I've heard mixed things on george from different sites, I'm going with resortation specialites or http://www.steelerubber.com/

George is the guy that got Restoration Specialties to make the stuff. He is a distributor for them. It's a good company. I've been working with the owner the past year getting seals made for the Econolines. I left a van with them to work off of a year ago. I ll have some of the new seals in a week at Carlisle.
Have you guys posted your needs directly on the A100 site? Just fyi,shop where you want but I try and take care of the little guy when I can.

Tim, I have tried!
I even saw him on another forum (HAMB) and mentioned that he was supposed to be the go-to guy; He never posted again!
I had to check my pits to make sure it wasn't my stink driving him off.
I have called, emailed, and responded to his posts on 2 different forums. The guy will not respond!
I understand he's busy and this is a sideline, but if this is the treatment you get before he has your money, I shudder to think what would happen after the cash is sent!
This may be airing dirty laundry and I understand if the mods want to pull this, but this is exactly what I would want to know if someone was recommended.

Let's just hope that Restoration Specialties come through with the goods in July for me and a few other guys for 1/4 window rubbers.

I have tried Steele Products, as they list what looks like exactly what I needed, but the goods I received were just generic 'run off the drum' rubber strips. No way did they even come close to fitting my truck windows. They failed to respond to my several emails suggesting they check what they are selling, and that I was less than satisfied as a customer.......no response.

Tim, if you can get someone at Restoration Specialties to make the right stuff, they will sell a heap of 1/4 window rubbers. I don't mind paying the price, but if the price is high, the goods better be right.

I took a tour of R.S. with the owner. He showed me stacks of the A100 rubber products. I ve never used them myself but have never heard anything bad about them. If George doesnt respond,then I dont blame you. I dont know him personally but have talked recently with him about reproducing products and associated costs. I have no problem with you posting your personal experience with him. Hopefully everyone will be able to reach me since I frequent several sites. I value customer service highly .

I bought every thing from restoration specialties. and had no problem . good place to do bussness with. except for my pop out windows. i bought them a a pick-a-part from a dodge mini-van side windows . just cut them to size...

I have baught parts from George in the past and had no problems. He sells at Carlisle and other swaps. I have also baught parts over the phone and he shipped them out in reasonable time.

i bought some rubber parts from clesters - would probably try restoration next time - last time i checked they had a nice package deal - oo3

i bought mine from restoration specialties also very pleased with the quality and prices. far the rear popouts i scoured some from a early 90's ford and shortened them, worked very well
